Mezic brothers Rick and Anthony are using their comprehensive knowledge of the fishing industry to deliver fresh and frozen seafood across southern and eastern Australia, how and when suppliers want it. The brothers, who are also fishermen themselves, know exactly what seafood businesses require when it comes to transport and are making sure they offer a service catering to these needs.

“With over thirty years’ experience in our family fishing business, we believe we know how to provide the service our clients demand to present the highest quality of their product,”

With five prime movers in the fleet Rick and Anthony take pride in being big enough to handle your fish and also small enough to take care of it – thereby providing the individual service customers seek.

The brothers pay tribute to their father, the late Joe Mezic, who as one of South Australia’s pioneering fishermen, helped create the Spencer Gulf Prawn Fishery.

Rick and Anthony eagerly embraced their dad’s passion for a life on the sea and each started their careers as deckhands. Rick skippered the FV Jadran for 20 years, stepping down to allow Anthony to take the reins.

Rick continued to immerse his knowledge in the seafood industry by working for Australian Bight Seafood, and as Adelaide Marketing Manager for SA Prawn Cooperative, guided the co-op into establishing a successful Adelaide base at the Safcol Fish Market which continues today.

Although Anthony has remained the skipper on the family boat, he enjoys the diversity and the challenge of further building a business directly related to seafood.

The bond with Port Lincoln and the surrounding community is where it all started for their dad and the brothers’ future plan is to grow and employ more local people – an investment for both their business and local families.

“We have taken over an established family transport business previously trading as Stevron Refrigerated Transport, and branded it to specifically promote SA seafood, a product and a future we believe provides exceptional quality and variety,”

“We are excited about our future prospects and we look forward to showcasing South Australia’s prized catch to fish merchants and markets alike from the West to the East coast”
